Rates vary by certification, process, and region within the state. These ranges reflect typical shop and field rates for AWS-certified welders.
These are typical market rates — not prevailing wage on public jobs. Add 25–35% for total loaded cost (payroll taxes, workers' comp, insurance, tools). Add 15–25% markup on top of loaded cost as the shop's contribution to overhead and profit.
Licensing & Certification
Ohio does not issue a statewide welding contractor license — work falls under general contractor licensing or is self-regulated by the trade. ASME pressure vessel work requires Ohio Department of Commerce boiler certification. Bridge welders on ODOT jobs must hold AWS D1.5 qualification.
AWS Code Adoption
ODOT uses AWS D1.5 for bridges and D1.1 for structural. Ohio is a strong AISC state — most fabricators in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati are AISC-certified, which is required on state-funded projects. The automotive sector adds AWS D8.8 (resistance welding) as a common supplemental standard.
